Question:
This brother, the questioner, sent this question, saying: What is the prescribed distance for shortening and combining prayers? May Allah reward you with good, and what is the criterion for it?
Answer:
The specific distance for the dispensation of travel has been a subject of disagreement among scholars, with various opinions. However, according to the Hanbalis, it is the distance of two days for a mount, which is eighty kilometers, because a mount travels forty kilometers a day, making the total eighty kilometers. This is the distance based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 So he considered that a two-day journey requires a mahram, indicating that this is the travel distance defined by the Shari'ah. This is the distance. Yes.
